Another media channel is severing ties with the Duggars.
Hulu has pulled 19 Kids and Counting from its site following eldest son Josh Duggar’s admission that, as a teenager, he sexually molested underage girls, TVLine has confirmed.
TLC dropped all episodes of the reality program, which follows Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar and their ever-expanding family, from its schedule last Friday in light of the controversy.
Ready for more of today’s newsy nuggets? Well…
* Fox is developing a TV series adaptation of the 1980 film Urban Cowboy, which starred John Travolta and Debra Winger, per The Hollywood Reporter. Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow, the Footloose remake) will write, direct and executive-produce the project.
* The Young and the Restless star Jessica Collins is leaving the CBS soap, Daytime Confidential reports. She joined the daytime drama in 2011.
Sad to hear the news about Jessica Collins leaving Y&R. Don’t know what’s going to happen to her character Avery who’s caught between her relationship with Dylan (Steve Burton) and Joe (Scott Elrod).
I wonder if they are going to recast the role. It seems like her leaving would be abrupt given her current storyline. Unless she quickly decides she is done with Dylan & rides off into the sunset with Joe. I just read yesterday though that there was a storyline coming up where she fights for Dylan. Maybe she doesn’t get very far.
